Haiku: Forest Spirit

The forest spirit
let me walk through the forest
without feeling fear.

Frozen, sitting still.
Darkness gathers waiting in
the ceiling corner.

Tea cosy toilet
Sitting on the throne of lace
Frog kisses a cheek

while you were asleep
I listened to your demons
snoring vibrations

Cherry blossom dream
feeling the flakes of snow fall
back in the office

The history books,
they tell of your infamy;
you destroyed the trees.

Burning summer sun,
birds shit over the house, grass.
The flies laugh at me.

A place of our own
where we can be together.
Our haven, our home.

casual exchange
under the old red gum tree
the memory fades

Echoes of this land
blood, bone and broken dreaming
A song we know plays
